It's been an awesome summer, thus far, filled with family, trips, and art. Last weekend we were in Ft. Worth, Texas, where we celebrated my Mother and Mother-in-Law's birthdays. On the way back, we went by College Station to pack up my two daughters' college apartment, since they'll be moving next month. Although it was hard work, we did take a break to visit the George Bush Presidential Library and Museum. I highly recommend it!

A lovely selection of techniques on your artwork this time - I especially like the birthday scrapbook-card, it's a really nice idea for a keepsake card. I may try this for my son's 18th birthday!
And I also like the tissue-covered chipboard/washi-tape frame idea, with stamping (?) and drawing on top. It looks very effective.
Life sounds pretty busy for you - it's quite crazy here too! Have a good weekend!

Only 5 days till my next chemo treatment. I am pleased that with the reduced dose last time, the effects passed off more quickly than before, and I have felt well enough to do some creative stuff since last week. I have to take advantage of these times and even if I don't have much energy, if I can do a little each day I am more than well pleased! My current projects will have to remain under wraps until the recipient receives them in mid-August but I'm getting the blog posts ready to upload.
I fully intend to enjoy the coming week to the full! The chemo makes me realise just how precious the good days are, and I give thanks for my blessings daily.
